This course is designed for expectant couples who are unable to attend the 5 week series due to work schedules or time restraints. The Prepared Childbirth (5 week) Series is more suited to first time parents. The Quick Course is abbreviated but will briefly cover the following: anatomy of pregnancy, nutrition in the last trimester, signs of labor, hospital admission, stages of labor, postpartum, cesarean section, medications and medical interventions, your choices/options, and your newborn. Please plan to attend this class in the last trimester of your pregnancy.

*No refunds are given for prenatal classes unless there is a medical reason for the inability to attend. We will be happy to transfer your registration to a different date or another class of equal value.

As the region's leading provider of healthcare, Columbus Regional Health has touched the lives of most of the children and adults in this region through its comprehensive network of services. Located in the West Georgia city of Columbus, Columbus Regional was established in 1986 as a not-for-profit health services organization, but its roots can be traced back to 1836 when the local hospital was a small wooden building on the banks of the Chattahoochee River.
